Philomene's Doll

By Wilmont R Kreis

Six years after the American Civil War ended, six year old Philomene sees her mother die horribly in childbirth. Soon she is sent from her home in Detroit to Belle-River Canada, where, following a series of moves to various families and convents, she ultimately finds a stable home near the place of her birth and marries a young man. Together they build a successful farm and begin a family. We follow her through Prohibition, the Great Depression, and two World Wars, raising a large and varied family through the best and the worst of times. All along, she is comforted and stimulated by a simple rag doll that was the single great gift of her childhood. Based on a true story, it's a tale of the highest and lowest points of a long life.
